Funk's Corner - FIGHTING HEART AWARD TO BE PRESENTED POSTHUMOUSLY TO VINCE MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR OF THE OCALA STAR BANNER

Courtesy of Dory Funk, Jr.:

Sunday December 21st the Funking Conservatory's Support the Troops 35, "Hell's Bells I" - The Funking Conservatory Fighting Heart Award will be presented posthumously to the Former Sports Editor of the Ocala Star Banner and dear friend of professional wrestling, Vince Murray.

Vince Murray had a life altering traffic accident 20 years ago and was left paralyzed from the waist down but continued to write and produce basketball scholarships for young men and women to go to college through his coverage of high school basketball and the Marion County Kingdom of the Sun Tournament.

Vince gave thousands of hours of professionalism to all sports including our professional wrestling program here at the Funking Conservatory wrestling school.

Vince Murray always had a feeling for the young men and women who give so much of themselves to entertain us and thrill us with their hard work.

With deepest appreciation to Vince Murray and his family and to let the world know how much we miss him, our FIGHTING HEART AWARD goes to Mister Vince Murray.

Accepting the Fighting Heart Award for Vince Murray will be his beautiful wife and soul mate, Jimmy Sue and his grand-daughters, Ashley and Maddie.

Vince Murray will also receive professional wrestling's traditional Ten Bell Salute.
